Keri Hilson Begins Recording "Emotional" Album

It's been over a year since Keri Hilson released her second album No Boys Allowed, and the pop-gem is recording new music, according to The Boombox.

"I've just been in the studio," said Hilson. "I'm working on a new sound. I just love to challenge myself. My first two albums to me were incredible. They were a moment in time. In A Perfect World was very emotional and tapped into how I was feeling at the time. And my last album, No Boys Allowed, that's how I was feeling at the time as well [laughs]. I was being very territorial, very instructional on how to become a man and what we deserved and demanded as women."

As far as her third album is concerned the singer says it's going to touch on a sad side. "The new music has kind of both sides: very emotional, but I've also gone through some hurt in the past couple of years. I'll be explaining some things."

Unfortunately, Hilson has no release date in mind, just yet. But, she says she's rather she didn't know. "I just write about my experiences and keep the release dates far, far from me. When I feel that I have [good material] is when I will give it to the label."
